The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
When Mary Poppins left the Banks family that evening in her always unusual, always unpredictable way, spinning skyward in the Merry-Go-Round, the children had one faint hope for her ultimate return. She had taken a Return Ticket.
And now, sure enough, Mary, the Great Exception, has returned to delight the hundreds of thousands of children and grown-ups the world over who have become her devoted followers.
No character who has become as much of a National Institution as Mary Poppins needs further introduction. But it may be whispered that Mary's appearance this time is as much of a mystery as before, and her adventures—with the Marble Boy, the Cat that Looked at a King, and all the others—quite as incalculable.
Mary Shepard's drawings again contribute their perfect touch, supplemented in this case in a few spots by a new artist, Agnes Sims, an American, long a devotee of Mary Poppins, who was able to step into the breach when the uncertain Atlantic prevented one small group of pictures from England from arriving in time.
